Hotel Monte Cervino
Between history and the future: hospitality at Hotel Monte Cervino meets Vimar technology
"At the foot of Monte Rosa, in the heart of the Val d’Ayas, stands the imposing Hotel Monte Cervino. Built in 1930 on the initiative of Alessandro Favre, at a time when Champoluc was becoming a popular summer tourist destination, the building's architecture is a fine example of traditional Alpine style that integrates perfectly with the surrounding landscape."
Project description
From the stone cladding to the characteristic red and white wooden balconies, whose windows afford panoramic mountain views, the height of the attic-style building arose from the need to make the best use of the steep terrain. This allowed for a sufficient number of guest rooms which, in the 1950s, began to attract visitors for winter holidays following the construction of the first ski lifts. Managed by the same family for four generations, the hotel now offers 22 rooms. While preserving the authenticity of the original structure, the hospitality floors have recently been renovated with a modern and innovative design. A striking dialogue between past and present welcomes guests. On the ground floor, the communal spaces preserve the warmth of the past, steeped in intimate atmospheres and details that evoke the history of the location. On the upper floors, the perspective shifts. With suspended beds and larch cladding, the rooms feature a sleek and contemporary design, enveloping guests in modern comfort that renews tradition through the harmonious use of natural materials and technology.
It is precisely in this context that Vimar plays a key role, offering a concrete example of system integration. Specifically, the By-me Plus home automation system was chosen synergistically to manage lighting, temperature control and electricity consumption. Completing the installation is the multisensor from the Linea XT Platform in black, which incorporates controls for climate management, along with thermostat and humidistat functions. Equipped with four sensors and an LED matrix for monitoring environmental parameters, the device allows for the detection of internal and external temperature, relative humidity, and air quality. Inside the rooms, a card inserted into the transponder pocket activates the utilities (lights, current socket outlets, and climate control). Through the system, this choice not only optimises the climate control and lighting balance for ideal energy savings, but it also promotes sustainable well-being by preventing unnecessary waste. This technology ensures completely matching styling throughout. At the Hotel Monte Cervino, the Arké Classic wiring series in the total look black version, featuring a linear profile and sharp corners, integrates elegantly with the wooden wall cladding.
For access control, the View Wireless smart system was selected as the ideal solution for small to medium sized accommodation facilities. Via the View cloud portal, the operator can activate or deactivate access permissions and authorise new users with specific validity dates. In addition, each room is equipped with a Tab jr. entryphone with handset, connected to a reception switchboard and paired with a Tab 7S Up video entryphone, allowing calls to be received directly on a smartphone. Outside, the Roxie video entrance panel manages access in conjunction with the card readers installed throughout the facility. From the By-me Plus home automation system to the View Wireless connected system, with remote control via the View App, the facility can therefore be monitored from anywhere through a simple, user-friendly interface. Thanks to Vimar technology, Hotel Monte Cervino can look towards the future of hospitality without sacrificing the Alpine authenticity that tells its story.
The wiring series used in the project
Linea with XT platform
The XT platform stands for “eXperience Technology”, an innovative high-tech experience for the automated home, with full-surface controls for a distinctive perfect flatness that makes it one of a kind. With its understated and user-friendly design, this product also offers a wide range of customisation options, in different ways: thanks to user-friendly, self-explanatory icons which can be selected from an extensive library of static symbols, or thanks to a broad range of static or dynamic LED matrix icons that can be programmed using the View Pro App, to make each product customised and different and accommodate all customer requirements while enhancing the identity of the accommodation facility.
Arké Classic
Rational geometric shapes, a linear profile and clear-cut corners. Charm that never goes out of fashion. A simple choice, to add value to interior details. A classy, well-balanced touch.
All it takes is a simple gesture and any space can become smart, interacting with you and making your wishes come true in real time. The smart system allows you to manage the various functions of the home and set your favourite scenarios, with the utmost simplicity thanks to classic 1-way switches, via App or naturally, using your voice directly.
The project systems
Roxie
It is the ideal choice for installation in small and medium-sized home environments, with the possibility of calling 1, 2 and 4 homes such as one- and two-family homes and four-family compounds or, thanks to the access control function, it can be installed in small accommodation facilities.
The entrance panel is made with high-quality material, in metallic grey zamak, which lends it a modern styling and an exceptional robust design, IK08 shock resistance and IP54 protection degree weather resistance. This entrance panel is built to stand the test of time without compromising performance.
Tab 7S Up
Tab 7S Up, the Due Fili Plus connected video entryphone with 7’’ touch display, which gives you the chance to communicate with outside the house remotely too, in total safety. In addition to conventional video door entry functions, the device in fact also features integrated Wi-Fi to allow you to manage your calls via the View App.
With Tab 7S Up, even installation offers maximum flexibility, thanks to three alternative modes: surface mounting, with wall plugs or using a flush mounting box; semi-flush mounting, to obtain a protrusion from the wall of just 13.1 mm; and table mounting, thanks to a dedicated base.
